My 76 year old mother (not pictured) attended a #nokings protest in Green Valley, Arizona, a sleepy little retirement community outside of Tucson. 850 attended, they were told. 850! As I told her, for GV, that is brag worthy! #resist (watch till the end for the best sign ever!)

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.
